I would be happy with a split in Erie next weekend, but three points to even things up would be sweet. I like the Falcons' remaining schedule compared to the Lakers' . But, Falcons need to sweep the other four weekends, I think.

Exactly. Like Dan has said many times, the best teams in past years have found a way to avoid any disaster (zero point) weekends. If we can come away standing strong after this weekend, we've got UConn and then teams 59, 57 and 56 respectively in the pairwise rankings. This should give us a great opportunity to come into the playoffs with some serious momentum.

It was great to get out to Holy Cross and see the boys in their black uniforms again. The Top Shelf is looking to see all games , both home and away from here on out. with the possible exception of Erie. But regardless, we're looking forward to some great hockey down the stretch!

It is my understanding many of the guys parents will be at Mercyhurst for the showdown! If we have no Bentley students then the parents will have to provide the support!

It would nice to sweep this weekend and at least split with uconn!

Or, split this weekend and sweep UConn. I think that the western pod teams will slow down the Lakers, but Bentley cannot let that happen with its eastern pod brethren. Would like to see the Falcons rack up some big point totals and push there PPG average over 4.0, while keeping their Goals Against in check. If opposing teams are dumb enough to keep taking stupid penalties, they should pay the price, as the Bentley PP has been awesome.

Weinstein to Gensler to Gladiuk is the modern college hockey version of old time ML baseball's Tinker to Evers to Chance (Google it). :-)

I have heard that one of our D men was injured this weekend and out for the season. I hope the injury bug stays away from us but every team has to deal with set backs.

We're working with the athletic and marketing departments to try and get a campus wide effort to back these guys. Hopefully an e-mail will soon be sent out to the entire faculty and students telling them about our nominees and a link to the voting page. That's several thousand people, so hopefully we see a little jump if not a huge leap forward!

No injuries to report. Marginsky was out against Canisius hurt but he returned to regular action against Holy Cross and was fine. Andrew Fitzstephens was banged up during the game but it'll take more than "banged up" to count for an injury to him.

Outside of the regular injuries that the team is already dealing with, they made it through Holy Cross unscathed apparently.

A look back at a ho-hum game against Holy Cross.

Bentley top AHA PWR team today, our all-time best PWR at 34(?), just ahead of Air Force and Mercyhurst, and we picked up 7 points in the USCHO poll for 23rd in tie with UNH.

And we even got a vote in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll. Tied with UVM and WMU for 20th there.

Replace the JAR Give the future recruits a rink they really can call home.

Prior to the construction of the Mercyhurst Ice Center , the men's team was affectionately known as the "Boys on the Bus," playing almost all of their games on the road and practicing at the crack of dawn at public rinks. In their third year of varsity play, the team played 27 out of 33 games at out-of-town arenas. Despite having no home ice, the Lakers gained national prominence by finishing among the top NCAA Division III teams in the nation. Thereafter, the Mercyhurst board of trustees directed college officials either to build a rink or to abandon the sport.

In a unique funding arrangement, Mercyhurst students agreed to pay for the ice center through a $56 increase in their annual building assessment fee. The money generates $80,000 each year and will retire the school-backed bond in 2021.

Sad to read on college hockey news that expansion won't happen anytime soon. The two most talked about universities said no!
